I have heard among this clan
You are called the forgotten man
(Is that what they're saying, well, did you evah)
(What a swell party this is)

And have you heard the story of
boy, a girl, unrequited love, I may cry
(Sounds like pure soap opera, tune in tomorrow)
(What a swell party this is)

(What frails, what frocks)
What broads
(What furs, what rocks)
They're beautiful
(Why I've never seen such gaiety)
Neither have I
(It's all just too, too bisque really)

This French champagne
(Domestic)
(So good for the brain)
That's what I was going to say
(You know you're a brilliant fellow?)
Why thank you
(Pick up, Jack, please don't eat that glass, my friend)

(Have you heard, about dear Blanche?) [bad word] down by an avalanche)
No
(Oh, don't worry, she's a game girl you know)
(Got up and finished fourth)
The kids got guts
(Having a nice time? Grab a line)

Have you heard that Missie Starr
(What now)
She got pinched in the Astor bar
(Sloshed again, eh?)
She was stoned
Well, did you evah?
What a swell party this is

Hey, check out that act
(That's a lovely dress)
(You think I can talk her out of it?)

It's great
(Aah it's great)
So grand
(So grand)
It's wonderland
La, da da da

(We sing)
Oh, we sing
(So rare)
So rare
(Like old Camembert)
(Like baba au rhum)
Don't dig that kind of crooning chum

Have you heard it's in the stars
Next July we collide with Mars
Well, did you evah?
What a swell party, a swell party
swelligant, elegant party this is

(I drink to your health)
Naw, let's drink to your wealth
(Your my bon ami)
Hey, that's French, a liberty fraternity

Have you heard it's in the stars
Next July we collide with Mars
Well, did you evah?
What a swell party, swell party
Swelligant, elegant party this is
